Loosing strength on Bench Press...

[joy4u]

I have both inclined and plane bench press in my training chart....The problem with me is that i first start with inclined bench press and then go for inclined dumble press and then go for the plane bench press, I have great power when i do the inclined bench press , but after the inclined dumble press i do not get much power for the plane bench press....

So I thought that i will do one set of inclined and one set of plane bench press alternatively ....will it make any problem???Please suggest me if there is any other solution for it.....I would greatly appreciate it...

The most strength for your bench will be the flat bench. Do this first then do the incline, decline, then butterflys (center chest). What I do is the 5x5 routine on all of the benches starting with flatbench! Then decline followed by incline and butterflys. If you dont know what the 5x5 routine is, read the first sticky on this forum. Start with the bench that you want the most results in. If you want a thicker top chest, do incline before decline and vice versa if you want a thicker bottom chest.

But all in all the reason why you are losing strength on the flat bench is because you are wearing out your muscles on the incline before you get to flatbench. Obviouslly each bench workout you do is working similar muscles therefore cause them to tire. Also dont work out your triceps before doing benchpress this will also cause your muscles fatigue.

you should lift the most weight on the decline actually.... Joy, in orer to keep getting stronger youre going to have to vary your rep ranges and intensity. you cant keep doing the same thin gover and over again. try a progressive overload bench cycle or the metal militia program (for raw benchers)
